—————-
As the troops and missionaries of the Spanish Empire trek north, they stumble into the orbit of a new power on the North American continent: the Comanche. An attack on the Mission of San Saba in 1758 terrifies the Spanish colonies, provokes the Battle of the Twin Villages, and ushers in an era of increased Comanche war raids.

Thinking about a Comanche sequel to this. What do y'all think?
How, what savages, thank God we killed them and defeated them.
"worshipped the supreme sun and mother earth" …. imagine if had just taken that up instead how much better off wed be today around the world.
How'd it work with the americans? Badly
Where was this mission fight? San Saba?
Reminds me of the Pueblo Revolt of 1680 that doesn’t get a lot of attention outside of New Mexico. Revolt by Matthew Liebmann is a good book on the topic
Are you guys going to sell any of the artwork here?
The immersion is impeccable, thank you for bringing light to our indigenous histories. People tend to think that the indigenous were helpless against the colonizers. They are wrong, as stories like this show
A video on the Pueblo Revolt against the Spanish or the Natchez Revolt against the French would be very interesting as well! Keep up the good work
So Ortiz randomly decided to raid the village of a peaceful tribe cos he was salty? Every coloniser that was scalped deserved it, aside from the women and children.
Where in Texas was this supposed to take place
The word Comanche comes from the Kiowa coma meaning he who likes to fight! The Comanche without horses were pitiful to behold on horseback the Comanche where the Bengal tiger of the human race;
It's funny how settlers and Europeans in general are always dipicted as cruel and heartless to American Indians when in reality American Indians were much more cruel to each other.
By the way this happened near San Saba Texas in the mission de San Saba
For the horde 🙂
This was great as always. I’d love to see you guys do the death of Magellan, trust whole voyage was insane. He was betrayed, they abandoned people in Patagonia, they half starved to death and in the end he was beaten to death on a beach as he attempted to prove the superiority of the church. It’s a tale for the ages and you’d do a great job telling it.
1:02 "bUt ThE aZtEcS dId HuMaN sAcRiFiCe" – you'd think the people who literally murdered children would need to demonize those they preyed upon so no remembers their own savagery.
I wish this channel does the British vs the Mad Mullah of Somalia
The level of history inaccuracies in this video is actually shocking. It’s mostly Hollywood style science fiction, but for that I actually prefer going to the movies. I’m actually sorry about it, as this YouTube channel could have been a great platform to introduce history to newcomers. To the founders of this channel, please remember that history is based on facts and records.
The stuff they had to fight over with Whites, Ashkenazis, And Mestizos must of been really head wracking and crackles
Yeah the Spanish were so terrified they decided to kill most of the Comanche.
Hold up, with headphones that are high quality and all that, the background sound at the beginning holy hell that was amazing. 100000000000000000 out of 10. The video was great too but your getting a like and sub just for that
tribes like the comanche are why we navajo never left the sacred mountains lol
Ooo ooo do the red cloud wars! That's my tribe and lineage! I'd love to see my uncles story being told!
If the Comanche were the first Native Americans the Spanish conquistadors encountered when they first came to America the world would probably look a lot different than it does now.
HISTORY DOSE… PLEASE DO THE FALL OF GENERAL CUSTARD
The Book empire of the summer moon gives a very accurate description of the Comanche Tribes. Their beginnings to their end. Anyone interested in learning more about their culture and tactics in war should definitely give it a read. It’s a fascinating book.
Yea yea, Comanche, very “scary”. I think the Spanish conquistadors, who were mostly horrible people who only cared to grab land and loot valuables (against the orders or the Pope and of the King of Spain) but I think mostly they had experience from European wars and know some psychology of people in war, which is to scare the other side as much as possible. Not that they weren’t scary. But at some point the Spanish had to understand that still native Americans in the north were as beatable as the Mexican ones.
Does anybody know whether the Comanches, or other North America natives used the psychedelic mushroom for bravery rituals similar to how Vikings did?
Love the videos!
Was that the San Saba mission and presidio described at the beginning of this video?
I am Chicano. I descend from the Oñate Expedition Settlers of New Mexico on my direct maternal line. I discovered my direct Ancestral Grandmother was an Athabaskan woman. Athabaskan is the family of Diné people. Which include the Navajo, Pueblo, Anasazi, Apache, Kiowa. Proud of this History.
As a Texan that has known both Comanche and Wichita folks, this was great piece on their history! Great job!
For all the horrific atrocities between the Spanish and the Comanches the Spanish were slowly bringing Western civilisation to Texas which ultimately could not in any way be matched or equalled by the relatively primitive Comanches.
Hold on now : you have a 16th century collar on a guy from the 18th century? As a descendant of people who fought Indians in the 16th century onwards, I’m now skeptical of your work. Yea
Tell me something… 🤔 Has it EVER in ALL OF HISTORY worked when "Holy men" say, "Oh no, I'm stayin… Jebus will protect me!"? It's like that idiot who went to the "FORBIDEN ISLAND" off the coast of India, with nothin but his Bible and his charming smile, and got turned into a canoe by the locals for his troubles… WILL THEY NEVER LEARN?! 🤦♂️🤷♂️ IF there is something, anything watching over us, I bet it's laughing its ASS OFF!!
Make a Magellan (spanish) vs LapuLapu (Filipino indigenous) war story
Really? Still with the black legend? So stupid to see this
Actually the the Pawnee and the oto native American tribes fought a major battle against the Spanish. In far north of republican rever in Kansas and Nebraska. Both tribes drove back and defeated the Spanish around 1640 or 1650 to stop them from go farther north.
